Back in June I did an interview with Eitan Charnoff for Ambulance World. Eitan was in Israel and I was in the Ambulance World international headquarters in scenic Cherry Hill, New Jersey.(sarcasm) The interview was conducted using Skype and was reordered using a screen recording software. Somewhere between the 8,000 mile difference the sound quality of the interview was terrible. Eitan was in the US a few weeks ago. Although we were unable to coordinate a face to face meeting, we made another attempt at the interview. I used the same
software as I did originally. I guess by cutting down the distance between us from 8,000 to 150 miles the sound quality increased exponentially. So here is the Ambulance World interview with Eitan version 2.0.
EVP stands for Emergency Volunteers Project.EVP is a group of trained volunteers that assist Israel in a time of crisis or disaster. So basically, they are looking for paramedics, firefighters, nurses, doctors, and even lay persons. Once you volunteer, you would go to Israel for a training program that would bridge the gap between your current professional training and the details you would need to know to function in Israel. Once you have completed the EVP training, you would be able to legally function in Israel in your area of expertise during a crisis.
After your training you would return home. In the case of a disaster, you would be called up to go to Israel to assist in the disaster. The costs are covered by EVP.
For those of you that are looking for some exciting training, travel, and doing good, this is for you. Take a few minutes and listen to this podcast or the YouTube video below for more details. You can contact them at office@evo.org.il
